    OBI Dweller Review and Discussion

    Check out Willy's post. I think it's the easiest and safest thing to use on the Dwellers. Hi-Lift jacks work but can be dangerous (I have one on my Dweller but haven't used it). I think the leveling blocks and a flat surface are more stable than jack extensions, but I don't have concrete data to...

    He would respond but his Starlink isn't working. Something about a connector... :)

    I also had a leaky skylight on my Dweller, and caulk fixed it, but I recommend only raising one side of the pop top so you have a slope in wet/snowy weather. Then nothing is sitting up there. I think that would work for the UEV, too. What water heater do you have? The Truma Combi takes a while...

    Dexter Axle Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly Pre Greased 8-201 Not under warranty unless installed on a Dexter Axel spindle Buyer beware

    If that's the case, at initial inspection you wouldn't have seen anything wrong. From the front of the wheel, it would look like all of the nuts were there, and the trailer only dropped about 1/4-1/2" with that failure, so not an obvious change. The follow-up question would be why on earth the...

    Dexter Axle Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly Pre Greased 8-201 Not under warranty unless installed on a Dexter Axel spindle Buyer beware

    Based on the pics, looks like the spindle nut is still there, and your wheel and the hub face literally wore down the spindle and nut together to be able to come off. That tells me the front face of your hub came loose, which was probably the sway you felt, then at 65 mph it didn't take long to...

    Take pics of the install as you do it. Are the server rack batteries fragile at all? I've never even considered them.

    Dwellers have good bones, and if you can negotiate a discount, more power to you! Mass production has its flaws in RVs, just like any auto manufacturer or home-builder. You'll likely have to navigate a couple issues if you buy a Dweller, but nothing that wouldn't be a deal-breaker, especially if...

    OK, since those batteries have a better BMS than what I installed, they really would be drop-in with the equipment you've got. I couldn't find a teardown video of that model, but the other equipment EG4 makes looks like it's very well-built. I wouldn't spend the $250 on an MPPT unless something...

    Whoa. Nope. Mine are under the bed. That's an interesting twist. Can you remove the divider or is it structural somehow? If you can remove it, you have plenty of room for a 400Ah brick. FWIW, I like your layout better. I bet mine's older.

    You mean you could choose anything and didn't choose a waterbed?!? I feel like this is a missed opportunity for you. Imagine: extra off-grid water supply AND that wavy night's sleep you and your wife didn't know you didn't need! The tandem axle could definitely handle it. :ROFLMAO:

    https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/obi-dweller-review-and-discussion.228995/post-3077490 Following that post will save you a few bucks, get you the extra 100Ah you want, and get you a low temp cut-off. It's been working REALLY well, and I'm very pleased with the results.

    Congrats! I think the VIN is actually stamped into the crossbar on the tongue.

    I can't wait for the review and write-up. What's the draw on the blower?

    Fine, I'll ask, since no one else will. WHAT'S THE HOLE FOR?!?!?!?

    Not if you consider Lion batteries at $999 each (on their website). With the controller and having someone else perform/warranty the labor, that's a deal.

    1. I have a little magnetic level I stick to the back side of the rock shield by the propane tank and pull out every time we set up. I also found the trailer's level to be hilariously inaccurate. I didn't remove mine, though; I left it there because I didn't want the holes, but I don't use it...

    Lightship L1

    I think we can all agree that this isn't an off-road rig...yet. I feel like it's just gonna need a 12" lift kit and A/T 37s and it'll be good to go! With that out of the way, I love this concept. I'm with TreeFarmer, you either love it or hate it. (I also love the look of Airstreams.) I would...
